This location is situated in the mall area of the Shops of North Bridge. There is parking in the 516 N Rush parking facility. Access to the currency exchange is just outside of Nordstrom, across from the Jellycat plushy store. You can access Nordstrom from the parking facility. You have to take the escalator to the top, then go through the store to the mall. The currency exchange itself is a small enclosed area. The young woman, Tricha, who took care of me and The Queen was super nice and very careful when it came to counting out our money. She was great. She explained the exchange rate and carefully told us how much we had requested in pesos and counted it out in a slow manner so we could see each bill being counted out. She also explained the process for us to return any money not spent in Mexico to get back dollars. The exchange rates and service were very good and this will be my go to for exchanging dollars to foreign currency.

I know people are complaining all over about the lack of employees in many Currency Exchanges around the city and unfortunately that is the Companies fault not the employees so my review is on the employees right now, because the companies are so out of touch with what all the employees have to do on a daily bases. No I'm not an employee or do I know any of the employees that work for this company. I just thought I would throw that out there. There use to be a time when they had enough employees to handle all the customers with no problems or long waits to get your services dealt with when you came to any Currency Exchanges. I have only encountered employees that have been very helpful to me and I can't ask for anything more. I usually come here to get a money order, pay a bill, or get an envelop. I know they have other services like faxing, sending money, stamps, etc. So just know you may have a short wait or a long wait but don't be mistaken they are doing the best they can with what has been left for them to take care of in this hard economy. Enjoy!!!

I called this place 3 times; Once to find out if they notarize documents - the answer was yes and it's $1.00 per page. The 2nd call was to make sure the Notary was in on Wed July 16th. The answer was yes, from 7 to 3. The 3rd call was the morning of 7-16 to confirm that the notary was in fact in, and they I could come in. The answer was yes. I arrive, pull out the documents and my driver's license, and the arrogant girl who is apparently the notary, asked me what type of documents they were. I said signature pages for my closing. She goes to call someone on the phone and comes back and says; "We don't notarize real estate documents." So after wasting 15 minutes trying to maneuver around the insane corner in order to pull into their parking lot, a lot that can only accommodate 3 cars TOTAL, and nearly impossible to get to unless you come from the east down a side street, I wasted my time. Here's a clue to the owner of this hell hole; HAVE YOUR MISERABLE NOTARY TELL THE CUSTOMER INQUIRING ABOUT NOTARIZED DOCUMNETS THAT YOU DO NOT NOTARIZE REAL ESTATE DOCUMENTS SO THE CUSTOMER DOESN'T WASTE THEIR TIME!!
